For one who is captured in toto at various bus stops around town, it is always entertaining to see what the advertising pundits want us to become…

I for one, if I could, would be a Dandy! (…read more about this phenom, also known to our beloved Brits as “the Peacock”. Are you, or your man a Dandy? Take the quiz…)

This advertisement has been up for months (hence the expired xmas threads) but features none other than Tony Sinclair Socialite Extraordinaire! Bravo! I never tire of toasting Tony in the early a.m. Rush Hour.

But lately, an urban vandal has been *spoiling* all the tiny billboard advertising in my neighborhood by pasting little ovals over the eyes of any models in the pictures. This tagger goes by the name of Olivier Sipod – and if that isn’t embarrassingly DANDY for a Tagger, I don’t know what is. WTF is this world coming to?

A quick google search on “Olivier Siphod” led me to that rarest of phenomena, a one-hit google search. (There’s a name for that, but I can’t remember it. It’s a b!tch to get old.) It pointed to some Quebequian’s (Quebequite’s?) 2000 engineering doctoral thesis, in French. I’m guessing your urban vandal is NOT the same as the author of said thesis.

Why must people make statements by doing something so darn silly? I say we look for the vandal, paste little ovals on his eyes and make him march around the biggest, busiest street in Chicago while he yells, “I have nothing else better to do” over and over.
